I really enjoyed watching the preseason 2v2 matches but im pretty sad that they decided not to add it to their regular season format. I feel like SC2 needs a breath of fresh air, the game in general feels really redundant and dull atm. Theres alot of strategy involved in 2v2 and the matches are much more high tempo, its a nice change of pace and imo it adds alot more excitement to the game. SC2 is due for a shake up, this could be what it needs to gain a bit more popularity in the international and korean scene. Thoughts?

(assuming everything is balanced game-wise and map-wise)

(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No



in regards to the comments that talk about the quality of the preseason matches.. im sure that the skill level would improve over time, just like it did with 1v1's. its natural that the games look a bit messy at first

The poll needs more options. 2v2 could work, but the maps are horrible. Maybe disable resource sharing. A simple yes/no is not enough here.

I approve of 2v2 as long as they use some other maps besides alterzim stronghold or however it's spelled.

I would like to see more 2v2, but my goddess Alterzim Stronghold was a horrible map for it. They need to pick/make new maps for it.

If 2v2-ers would get on the same level like 1v1 pro's the games should get a lot more interesting. There is not much multitasking and mechanics involved in 2v2's and I think that is why it's kinda boring to watch.

i'd rather not pros waste their time playing 2v2's solely for PL when there's way more opportunities outside PL in SC2 compared to BW

how so? only a small % of koreans play in foreign tourneys and theres only a few leagues in korea. also, i doubt it would have an effect on the higher tier kors seeing as teamplay matches usually involve 2nd tier pros. if anything it just gives lesser known players more exposure

I think if he was really a traditionalist he would be voting FOR 2v2 given Proleague's history.

Obviously yes.
2V2 might not be balaced and a bit wonky, but its many times more interesting and funnier than watching the same 1v1 builds over and over again.

i think that maps are the only problem presented in 2v2 aside from general balance of course.

But 2v2's are so damn interesting, crazy and hyper entertaining. Its so diverse.

I voted for no. The beauty of SC2 is that it is a individual game, its focus is on 1 vs 1, like it or not that's its strength its creating those moments of jaw droping awe when someone does something you never thought possible, micro, macro or multi-tasking all on his own.

I feel like any form of team play would just ruin what SC2 stands form. If you feel SC2 is stale strategically then you should be doing everything in your power to get the message across to Blizzard to do some balance changes that will fix that, not ask for stupid shit like 2 vs 2, that also dilute and divide the community.

And if you think team games provide variety, you're dead wrong, they only provide novelty right now. Team map making is not very well understood, but once it does develop you'd see not only the maps but also the metagame have to conform to a certain standard, because, no matter what you still have to have mains a certain position, with resources at a certain angle, with ramps in certain places and you can't have it too narrow or FF rape everything and you can't have them too open or zergs destroy everything, that's just how it is.
